Gone are the days of flustered mums at the school gate, the playground has now become the place to impress. The pressure from celeb ‘yummy mummys’ in the media, and the on-going quest to be the ‘perfect mother’ means the school run is now seen as the time to look perfectly preened.

But it’s not just the everyday mum who’s feeling the pressure, the original girl power advocate, Emma Bunton, has spoken of how fellow mums at the school gates make her feel bad about not spending hours at the gym striving for perfection. We can’t all look catwalk ready on the school run like supermodel mum Claudia Schiffer!
The reality for most mums is that the little things we all take for granted, like a shower, become a distant luxury to hurried mums in the morning.
